Can i take warfarin sodium 2.5mg, clopidogrel 75 mg, and asparin 81 mg at the same time?My blood pressure is 135/80. Cholestrol total is 127. HDL is 54. LDL is 60. My body weight is 160 lbs. My age is 68. In June 2013, I had a coated stent installed in my right coronary artery and doctor prescribed I take Clopidogrel 75 mg and 81 mg aspirin. On August 2013, I had a cardiogram which showed formation of deep blood clots which can result in a stroke. My father at age 62 died of a stroke. My doctor prescribed Warfarin Sodium 2.5mg in addition to the clopidogrel and aspirin I am taking now. My understanding is that all these medicines are blood thinners and Warfarin can cause fatal bleeding. Warfarin is taken at bed time and other 2 I take in the morning. Should I be concerned about taking all these 3 medications?

I am taking the Lipitor to lower Cholestrol and Ramipril and baby Asprin post heart attack in 2007 to keep blood pressure low and help prevent stroke. Recently, I had stroke like symptoms, and was put on Clopidogrel. Tests for stroke were negative, but the Clopidogrel was prescribed as a prophylaxis. Shortly after starting it, I started having constipation, which I had never had to such an extent before that. I haven't seen anywhere that clopidogrel was associated with constipation, but perhaps the drug combinations is at fault. The shoulder joint pain could be just old age. I had a dislocated shoulder and torn tendons in left side about 10 years ago. I was told because of the damage, that shoulder would become arthritic, but that doesn't explain the right shoulder, which has similar symptoms.
